Theme Volume 1 (The Teaching) ... Paperback, approx. 103 pages ----- Buddhism has enjoyed increasing popularity in Western countries for decades. Unfortunately, often only some catchwords are taken over thoughtlessly and strikingly, but then do not give in their supposed meaning approximately the real doctrinal opinion of the Buddha. ----- Here now the core statements of the Buddhist teachings are conveyed in a well-founded and yet generally understandable way, i.e. without a linguistic-intellectual superstructure. The basis for this series of writings is the Theravada Buddhism handed down in the 'Pali Canon' - that is, the form taught largely true to the original by the Buddha. ----- Any serious examination of Buddhism is always a work-in-progress. Therefore a limitation of this booklet edition is neither foreseen nor planned. The series will be continuously corrected, supplemented and continued by further volumes at irregular intervals... ----- Main topics in this volume: The four truths - The eightfold path, understandably explained - The Buddhist ethics (Sila) - Mahayana, Hinayana and the Buddhist scriptures - and many more... ----- The following thematic volumes are in preparation or already in translation: Volume 2 (Meditation Practice Book), Volume 3 (Focus on Karma, Nirvana, Enlightenment, etc.), Volume 4 (Focus on Rebirth, Samsara, etc.)

From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.

The Buddha, who lived approximately 2500 years ago, is the central figure of the religion Buddhism which has more than a billion adherents all around the world today. The Buddha is considered by many to be the greatest teacher of wisdom, spirituality and enlightenment ever to live. Over the years the author of this book analysed and read from many teachers discussing the Buddha's words and noticed time and time again that there is a lot of misunderstandings surrounding what the Buddha said. Sometimes people are only able to grasp a portion of the Buddha's wisdom because they have not fully realized all of his more profound teachings within their own inner minds. To be able to understand the Buddha completely you must come to understand the true nature of reality. This book includes many quotes from the Buddha and explains the true meaning behind his words. The author elaborates and sums up the Buddhist doctrine, clearly explaining the methods necessary to reach enlightenment. He also explains the philosophical or spiritual realisations necessary to understand and embody the Buddha's teachings. Vital Buddhist ideas are explained chapter by chapter, such as:EgotismRebirth Or ReincarnationThoughtCausality And Dependent OriginationKarmaMeditationRight Livelihood And Holistic ThinkingThe book does not confuse the Buddha's teachings as some other interpretations do. For example, "Rebirth" or "Reincarnation" is explained as a literal process that occurs upon death, whereas other confused teachers claim it is only a metaphorical process that occurs during this life. The author uses his own understanding of enlightenment to simplify and break down how these seemingly confusing teachings can make personal sense to you by guiding you through various methods of realization. Herein lies the advice that is necessary to reach happiness, peace, the end of suffering, nirvana, and spiritual enlightenment in this life!

“A terrific introduction to the Buddha’s teachings.” —Paul Blairon, California Literary Review This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddha’s teachings. “For years,” says the Journal of the Buddhist Society, “the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula’s What the Buddha Taught fills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted. It is a model of what a book should be that is addressed first of all to ‘the educated and intelligent reader.’ Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly.” This edition contains a selection of illustrative texts from the Suttas and the Dhammapada (specially translated by the author), sixteen illustrations, and a bibliography, glossary, and index. “[Rahula’s] succinct, clear overview of Buddhist concepts has never been surpassed. It is the standard.” —Library Journal

Do You Know Who You Are? is a unique study of the earliest recorded "discourses" of the Buddha, taking an approach that is at once psychological, philosophical, and literary. In a market abundant with how-to books for spiritual practitioners and advice for achieving a happy life by Buddhist masters, this book offers original readings of some of the most powerful of the Buddha's teachings, which take the form of conversations with a wide range of people: disciples, wandering Hindu philosophers, Brahmin white supremacists, ordinary householders, and even a tyrant. It is a book for all literate, thoughtful people who want to read for themselves what the Buddha really said and to understand their own condition better. The book is a series of essays on specific passages from the Buddha's original Discourses, which blossom and buzz when read with careful thought and sensitivity. It is an introduction to the Buddha's radical empiricism for all people who like to read, think, and investigate; and in it the reader will find texts of great literary beauty and philosophical profundity. It is a book for people who might have no interest in becoming Buddhists as well as for advanced practitioners, who will find these readings fresh and invigorating. Readers will come away from this book with a deepened understanding of their own lives, an intimacy with the Buddha's penetrating mind, and a desire for further study of these wonderful texts and, above all, of themselves.

Quotes from the Buddha are everywhere: on Facebook, Instagram, coffee mugs, posters. There's only one problem: the Buddha didn't actually say most of them. This humorous and informative book takes these fake Buddha quotes as a launching point for a discussion on what the Buddha really did say, and is a great entry point for those interested in learning more about Buddhism--what it is, and what it isn't. Bodhipaksa, a well-known Buddhist teacher and the founder of fakebuddhaquotes.com, takes a look at some of the quotes that are erroneously attributed to the Buddha, explains the ways in which these disagree (or sometimes agree) with Buddhist teachings, and offers some genuine examples of the Buddha's words. The perfect gift for the Buddhist in your life and an essential addition to any Buddhist library, I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha! is at once humorous and scholarly, and a timely antidote to the "fake news" that can surround some of the Buddha's teachings.
